    What is the attraction with some people who sit on the toilet for 30mins and read the newspaper.
    There are plenty more comfortable (and hygenic) places to read.


    Now i could possibly understand if it was your own toliet but sitting on a toilet (say in work) where plenty of other asses have been and dribbles of piss have accumilated is just rotten.

    You know who you are, come forward and explain yourselfs.

    It's relaxing. You're own little sanctuary.

    I love reading in the toilet!

    But the main reason is that you can't hurry these things. Better to let them take their natural course rather than pushing it out. Let it happen in its own time.

    Get in, double coat the bowl with pebbledash, wipe, insurance wipe and get outta there!

    No point hanging around smelling your own!

    May the splash back be with you.

    Because it takes time to fully evacuate ones bowels. This time can be boring without reading material.

    In work? It's to kill time, tell your manager you have IBS & he will never question you again on the length of time in the jacks.

    At home? You would be amazed at the amount of times you think you're finished but then there's more if you wait.

    I keep all of the Overheard in Dublin books in the toilet at home for such an occasion. Light reading but entertaining, & the laughter can sometimes help things along :D

    The longest i would stay on the toilet is about 5 mins. I do get the whole sanctuary thing but my business is finished so im in and out fast.

    Remember once dying to 'push the crusties' while waiting for the bus, anyway by the time I got off the bus I was in a bad way, it was one of those that you are actually undoing your belt and the buttons on the jeans as you walk up the street. Couldn't get the key in quick enough, ran up the stairs, got the kaks down and iit was like Hiroshima all over again. Well the relief, it was like a tablet, sat on the 'throne' for about half an hour saying "Thank you God" despite the fact I'm not a religious man, that was the longest I ever spent on the bog!

    I also remember a particularly tough 'passing' in 1994. Watchin g the Brazil v Holland quarter final in the World Cup I could feel a movement so I decided to evacuate 5 mins before half time so could be back in time for the half time analysis! Well this turd put up some fight, I reckon my hole was as wide as a pool table pocket by the time I set Nelsopn Mandela free. When I resumed my position in front of the tv (sitting on one cheek due to my throbbing ring) it was 2 mins into the second half :eek:

    Books, newspapers :rolleyes:
    Smart phone while on the bog. Now that's a technological advancement.

    Love a good aul read when on the can.

    After you've pushed out the bulk of the loaf you can let the sweat on your forehead cool and get down to reading.

    I've brought a guitar into the jax with me on occasion too.

    That's nothing. I once took a dump while playing Bob Dylan songs with another guitarist and an upright bass player in the shower.*
